Editor's Note

Some resources list all parts of all Clematis species poisonous if ingested. The toxic principal is Anemonin, and symptoms after ingestion include intense burning sensation in the mouth and mouth ulcers.

Dermatitis and skin irritation has also been recorded, as have allergies and hay fever type symptoms from pollen inhalation.

We tend to err on the side of caution in PlantFiles, and the danger notation in the details above is to caution gardeners, parents and pet owners to look further for more information.

When I first bought this plant, we were renting a house; so I had to plant it in a windowbox. Since then, it has performed beautifully for me in this windowbox; even living through summer drought and several ice storms. Finally, this year I will get to plant it in the ground!

EARLY LARGE FLOWERED GROUP

I have grouped this with my candidia white both of which are blooming right now. I can't wait to see them dripping off of the small dead dogwood I have them climbing next spring. 10/13/04

They did not climb as well as I wanted them to but I am going to trin it more up the other clematis vines this year, the flowers are huge and beautiful. Our weather has had some very strong winds and they have held up miraculously.4/23/05
